Scared as hell. Also mad.

The whole “we value all staff, everyone has a valuable contribution to make” shtick sounds really good until you're sat down in front of HR and senior leadership with carefully sad faces and told your position is being eliminated. “It's not a reflection of your work.” Well obviously it's not. I'm smart, have a ton of experience, worked damn hard and produced results. And I'm not the only one being sent on their merry way. I'm in my late 40s. I don't have the energy right now to start all over again. But here we are. It's all really such bullshit. I just needed to unload. Thanks for listening, companions in suffering.
